A scientist wanted to investigate whether light is required for the germination

of seeds. She filled two plant pots of the same size with equal amounts of
soil.
Pot 1 was labelled 'LIGHT and Pot 2 'DARK'. Five lettuce seeds were planted
in each of the pots. Both plants were given sufficient water.
Pot 1 was put in direct sunlight. A cardboard box was placed over Pot 2
and no light was allowed to enter.

Answer:

The correct hypothesis would be -

"if the light is required for seed germination of seed, then in the absence of light lettuce seed will not germinate"

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis is always based on a question one wanted to answer. The hypothesis is the possible explanation of a world natural problem. One needs to make his hypothesis on the basis of the research he made.

To test the hypothesis one needs to develop an experiment like here formed an experiment to test if the light is required for the germination of seeds. Thus, hypothesis would be "if the light is required for seed germination of seed, then in the absence of light lettuce seed will not germinate"
